Riesz potential

In mathematics, the Riesz potential is a potential named after its discoverer, the Hungarian mathematician Marcel Riesz. In a sense, the Riesz potential defines an inverse for a power of the Laplace operator on Euclidean space. They generalize to several variables the Riemann–Liouville integrals of one variable. If 0 < α < n, then the Riesz potential Iαf of a locally integrable function f on Rn is the function defined by where the constant is given by This singular integral is well-defined provided f decays sufficiently rapidly at infinity, specifically if f ∈ Lp(Rn) with 1 ≤ p < n/α. In fact, for any 1 ≤ p (p>1 is classical, due to Sobolev, while for p=1 see), the rate of decay of f and that of Iαf are related in the form of an inequality (the Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequality) where is the vector-valued Riesz transform. More generally, the operators Iα are well-defined for complex α such that 0 < Re α < n. The Riesz potential can be defined more generally in a weak sense as the convolution where Kα is the locally integrable function: The Riesz potential can therefore be defined whenever f is a compactly supported distribution. In this connection, the Riesz potential of a positive Borel measure μ with compact support is chiefly of interest in potential theory because Iαμ is then a (continuous) subharmonic function off the support of μ, and is lower semicontinuous on all of Rn. Consideration of the Fourier transform reveals that the Riesz potential is a Fourier multiplier.In fact, one has and so, by the convolution theorem, The Riesz potentials satisfy the following semigroup property on, for instance, rapidly decreasing continuous functions provided Furthermore, if 0 < Re α < n–2, then One also has, for this class of functions, (Wikipedia).

Some identities involving the Riemann-Zeta function.

After introducing the Riemann-Zeta function we derive a generating function for its values at positive even integers. This generating function is used to prove two sum identities. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/
